In a Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017 photo, Jim Clarno , left, general manager of the Lower Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District walks with homeowner John Kitsmiller along a small dam site 29 in Coupland Texas. A dam outside this small town northeast of Austin would collapse, with a wall of water wiping out homes and businesses downstream, in the kind of epic rains that fell on Houston and other parts of Texas during Hurricane Harvey. Decades after widespread shortcomings in dam safety came to light, Texas has made some progress, but not nearly enough, in addressing the threat. (Ricardo Brazziell/Austin American-Statesman via AP)

In this Thursday, Aug. 31, 2017 photo, Gordon Prendergast poses with the kayak he bought to see how his house in Houston's western neighborhoods fared after Harvey caused flooding in land that not long ago had been open prairie. Tens of thousands of homes were inundated when floodwater roared around the edge of Houston's Addicks Dam for the first time in its 70-year history. (AP Photo/Nomaan Merchant)

A home is surrounded by floodwaters from Tropical Storm Harvey on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017, in Houston. With its flood defenses strained, the crippled city of Houston anxiously watched dams and levees Tuesday to see if they would hold until the rain stops, and meteorologists offered the first reason for hope — a forecast with less than an inch of rain and even a chance for sunshine.

FILE - Javier (no last name given) catches a carp in the middle of Brittmoore Park Drive in west Houston after the Addicks Reservoir overflowed due to days of heavy rain after Hurricane Harvey on Tuesday August 29, 2017. The push of subdivisions and freeways across what once was hundreds of square miles of flood-absorbing tallgrass prairies was part of the U.S.-leading population growth of Houston and surrounding Harris County. But the go-go-growth placed housing developments across the drainage basin of the two major reservoirs and dams safeguarding downtown Houston. (Jay Janner/Austin American-Statesman via AP)

Erik Peterson and his son, Carlos, 10, are rescued from their house to a dam on the Addicks Reservoir as waters rise from Tropical Storm Harvey in west Houston on Tuesday Aug. 29, 2017. More than 17,000 people are seeking refuge in Texas shelters, the American Red Cross said. With rescues continuing, that number seemed certain to grow. (Jay Janner/Austin American-Statesman via AP)

A man works at Addicks Dam Thursday, May 5, 2016, in Houston. With clay soil and tabletop-flat terrain, Houston has endured flooding for generations. Its 1,700 miles of man-made channels struggle to dispatch storm runoff to the Gulf of Mexico. Now the nation’s fourth-largest city is being overwhelmed with more frequent and more destructive floods.
